1. INTRODUCTION

As the world leader in the development and application of
high technology ceramic/silica materials, Kyocera offers a
wide range of highly efficient and reliable crystalline silicon
solar photovoltaic (PV) power modules. Kyocera began to
extensively research PV technology in 1975 and
commenced manufacturing operations in 1978. Since then,
Kyocera has supplied millions of cells and modules
throughout the world. With years of experience and
state-of-the-art technology, Kyocera provides the highest
quality PV power modules in a range of sizes designed to
meet the requirements of the most demanding energy and
power users worldwide.

2. APPLICATIONS

KDxxxGX-LPB modules
maintenance-free direct current (DC) power source,
designed to operate at the highest level of efficiency.
KDxxxGX-LPB modules are ideal for remote home,
water pumping, utility-tied, telecommunications and
many other applications.
3. WARNINGS & SAFETY
PV modules generate electricity when exposed to light.
Arrays of many modules can cause lethal shock and
burn hazards. Only authorized and trained personnel
should have access to these modules. To reduce the risk
of electrical shock or burns, modules may be covered
with an opaque material during installation. Do not touch
live terminals with bare hands. Use insulated tools for
electrical connections. Do not use these modules for
solar concentration.
PERMIT
Before installing your PV system, contact local
・
authorities to determine the necessary permits,
installation and inspection requirements.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
・ Systems should be installed by qualified personnel only.
The system involves electricity, and can be dangerous if
the personnel are not familiar with the appropriate safety
procedures.

glass can be broken (and the module will no longer work
properly) if it is dropped or hit by tools or other objects.
・ The module frame is made of anodized aluminum, and
therefore corrosion can occur if the module is subject to
a salt-water environment and is in contact with another
type of metal (electrolytic corrosion). If required, PVC or
stainless steel washers can be placed between PV
module frame and support structure to prevent this type
of corrosion.

4. SITE SELECTION

KDxxxGX-LPB
In most applications,
installed in a location where they will receive maximum
sunlight throughout the year. In the Northern Hemisphere,
the modules should typically face south, and in the
Southern Hemisphere, the modules should typically face
north. Modules facing 30 degrees away from true South (or
North) will lose approximately 10 to 15 percent of their
power output. If the module faces 60 degrees away from
true South (or North), the power loss will be 20 to 30 percent.
When choosing a site, avoid trees, buildings or obstructions,
which could cast shadows on PV modules especially during
the winter season when the arc of the sun is lowest over the
horizon.

5. MODULE TILT ANGLE

KDxxxGX-LPB
modules produce bigger power when they
are pointed directly at the sun. For grid tie installations
where the PV modules are attached to a permanent
structure, PV modules should be tilted at an angle equal to
the site's latitude. This will typically result in the highest
annual energy output.

6. INSTALLING KDxxxGX-LPB MODULES

To install the module, use bolt and nut on installation holes
which are opened in the module frame and install the
module by following the instruction below.
